TTIg GROWING DARKER, DARKER.

1t is growing darker, darker, fades the light
OF day away,
But my soul is growing lighter in an heay-

glory fadeth now
In the presence of another and fairer light
than thou.
'Tis the glory of Gods presence, tits the
homeland of the soul
| will soon be there forever--pTecious, Won
drous, happy goal.
Never can sorrow enter through the gates
where go In;
Never can pain or trial, never e'en a
thought Of sin.
IT'S a fair and glorious journey which am
about to take,
Where l sojourn l shall sleep soon in the
homeland shall make.
Sleep Oh, peaceful gentle slumbers, who
could ever know fear
In thy presence, when the waking shall so
wondrous fair appearS
Mother, put your arms around me, let me
feel your gentle kiss,
Do not weep, for am going to better land
than this,
To a land Of milk and honey, where the day
grows dim no more,
In the presence of Gods glory, on the bright,
eternal shore.
Sweetheart, come still closer, closer, let me
hold your little hand,
We shall be united ever in that other, better
land,
Where the shadows never shade more, In the
golden courts above,
| will meet you there soon, sweetheart,
where Wen never cease to love.
In that land of joy and blessing | will greet
you, sister, dear,
Though the light is fading, fading, and no
more see you here.
Be o daughter true and noble, love your
father, In your care
| would leave him, till our meeting in that
land so bright and fair,
Brothers, sisters, faster, faster ebbs the
strength of life away
Good-by and God bless you ever, brighter
grows the heavenly ray.
Meet me up above-'tis over, passed spirit
through the gates
OF the everlasting city, where a crown of life
awaits.
